I think the fact that most people thought this was a new song proves Gary Numan's timeless sound! He was so far ahead of the curve when he first came out in 1975 and he still is!
@andy morris I have never seen him in concert I would not go to any he does now but I would have gone to the stuff he did in the late 70s and 80s. that was music ahead of it's time. This song seemed like he wanted to play the part in the Prodigy firestarted video
Agreed. Most artists peak when they're 30, but at 62, his voice is the most powerful it's ever been, and the last two albums were probably his best so far.
He should be in The Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame just for Replicas, The Pleasure Principal and Telekon. Add to that his influence on Electronic music, Rock and even Hip-Hop . Plus he's still moving forward.
This song aged so well. I remember people at the time making excuses for why this wasn't his best, but I remember the words and the melody so well, and the lyrics resonate so well, I keep coming back. Even if it's just me, I love this track
Probably my favourite Numan song, I love the vibe I get from this. Sort of a wild abandon of the past, of old identities, in favour of just not giving a fuck what people think and reinventing yourself for the now. But it's more driven from a slip into insanity and recklessness than something more positive, giving it a sort of dire promise: it says "I'm putting a brick on the accelerator and don't give a shit where I end up, as long as it's fun!" which is how I've felt for the past couple of years. Remember, when you find yourself in a tailspin, the only way to save yourself is to point your nose down and dive straight into it!
I prefer the old of course .... All the way into the wonderful dark, menacing places he takes us now. An artist needs to grow. That he did. Gary Numan is hella proof one can evolve brilliantly! A legend. Although he would disagree! 🔺🔺🔺
Oh Genius, genius, genius, this timeless man is a gift from the Gods, aliens, Universe, whatever. So much wonderful music that's been made in nearly half a century is derived from this man's work.
A classic which I purchased on day one on 2 CD singles. Those were the days! It was great to see Gary finally return to studio TOTP and the UK top 20 biggest hit in 20 years I seem to remember...
The more I take a look inside, the more I pried The more I understand the ride, the more I slide The more you put me back in line, the more I tried The more you looked into my eyes, the more you lied I come back crazier, but feel much better You come back crazier, you'll feel better The more I disregard the signs, the more I fly The more I walk across the lines, the more I glide You come back crazier, but feel much better You come back crazier, you'll feel better I come back crazier, but feel much better You come back crazier, you'll feel better
Saw him in Tulsa on Sunday night, and was blown away. I took my 16-year-old daughter...she's been a HUGE Gary fan for a while now, and this was the first concert she's ever been to. It was SO cool to see her having such a good time!
I am a big fan of Gary Numan. I recently watched his Acoustic concert in Hackney. It was so cool! I came across this song on RU-vid and decided to give it a go. It is amazing! I absolutely love it! Well done Gary!🎉🎉
Gary is one dude that has so much awesome that he does not even LOOK as old as he is. He looks about half his age, and that's amazing! Keep on rockin'!
I think this was the first actual Gary Numan music video that I saw, I was 18 at the time. My parents were familiar with "Cars", but this for me, was something new. It seems that I was watching the start of Gary's music taking a turn in sound, a change in genre, no less. And over the years he's gone from strength to strength.
This dude is truly amazing,definition of musical growth and experimentation,I love his new stuff and his old stuff,Newman is paradoxical I dont even know what that means.
Totally passionate. This song speaks to me in so many ways. It's as if society places boundaries and restrictions on everybody - and crazier breaks us out into a limitless existence.
Gary Numan has always been and still is 1 of my life long heroes he is a truly musical genius and always will be he has rose above all other artists of his early days and never ceases to amaze me from his early days of bomber and blue eyes to our friends electric and even through his experimental years I've been a true fan and has indeed inspired me thru my own musical journey in bands as a front man to my musical taste even to this day He is a legend and such a modest nice bloke ....thank you valerian our very own Gary Numan 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Absolutely Epic !!!!!! 2 Thumbs Up !!!! Gary you are the mannnnnnn bruh !! with every song you sing , you make my body move to the grove...... I love to get all your stuff on vinyl for my collection !
The more I take a look inside, the more I'm fried The more I understand the ride, the more I slide The more you put me back in line, the more I tried The more you looked into my eyes, the more you lied I come back crazier, but feel much better You come back crazier, you'll feel better The more I disregard the signs, the more I fly The more I walk across the lines, the more I glide
This song made made realize that working around big trucks all day is making me lose fine hearing ability because I have no idea what the whisper verse is before the last chorus line...somebody help please cuz I cant find that particular lyric anywhere..
This song has had such a huge impact and influence on my life over the past 5 1/2 years of my life. Went from a divorce of a 21 year marriage that I invested everything I had into...six months later I went crazier and thrust myself into a long distance relationship spanning nearly 5 years leading to marriage.... I went crazier and have no regrets....I feel better !!!!!
@OnlyADownstat Just rediscovered his music. Last I had bought of his was New Anger (on cassette lol). Had no idea he has released so much more. "I Am Ruin" popped up in my recommendations because I was looking up "Cars" and I was blown away. And his daughter's voice... so haunting like his! Saw the new campaign video. That mean something new for sure? Been going through his RU-vid and damn he's got some killer tunes! Biggest reason I loved his older music was due to his voice. He still has that voice and the edge in this newer music blends so damn well!
